Embarazo ectópico

El embarazo ectópico es aquél en el que el óvulo fertilizado se implanta en el tejido fuera del útero y de la placenta y el feto comienza a crecer allí. El sitio más común es en la trompa de Falopio. Sin embargo, los embarazos ectópicos se pueden producir en el ovario, en el abdomen y en la parte inferior del útero (cuello uterino).
